When leasing, am i not able to lower, tint and chip a car? or can i do it if i turn it all back to original before i return it? also i have a 2001 A4 i am looking to sell, what is the best place to post to sell it? sorry if the questions are elemenrty but ive never done it before.

However I would imagine lower and chip would be no no, tint could be hard to say.

well i was trying to go around the salesperson, to see if i could with a lease

Obviously you can do anything, as long as you are not caught

my experience is that the dealer will do the tint for free to seal the deal. Ask for this just before signing. At worst, you will get it the tine at a heavy discount, say for 100$.

Good luck

exactly.. my buddy's old golf was extremely modded and leased.

Just risk losing warranty. And you have to put it back to stock when you turn it in or the dealer could charge to reverse everything. There are lots of people that highly modify leased cars...no names being mentioned.

I negotiated rear cargo mat and tinting (35% all 'round) when I did my deal. Some would say my car is highly modified (quite apparent are the coils, aftermarket exhaust, short shifter, FMIC and Turbo Intake Pipe). They eventually noticed the add'l power and told me that chipping could void my warranty - I've not read about anyone that had Audi do this though. I've kept all my OEM stuff so that I can de-mod when ready to do so ...

I've not had any issues with the little stuff covered under warranty. Do some mods and enjoy !!

I sold my 03 A4 thru the Auto Trader. Not cheap, but it sold.
